Recovery Milestone

That's a good effort but I'm afraid it's nowhere near the top three in
England & Wales.

 

Photoshopped.

I can see where you removed the helicopter (and the shark).

 

Ys its amazing how unfit you become after being grounded for a few
weeks .

 

8 weeks on from my heart attack, I've been working hard on recovering my
fitness.

I've worked up from barely being able to walk a few hundred metres,
through 1.5 mile walks thrice daily, to a 7.5 mile walk on Saturday.

Today however, I did something I'm quite proud of.

I scaled Pen Y Fan mountain - which is, ISTR, the 3rd highest peak in
England and Wales.

Did you start off at sea level?

 

You must be consulting a different Wikipedia than the one I looked at:

No doubt.

 

I'm a supporter of counting Dafydd at third place

 

<nods>

 

Wiki lies. Check how many peaks there are over 3,000' in Snowdonia
because they're all higher.

So it should be.

 

Well done. This was on the 125 dirt bike, was it?

 

Does that count as a bite?

 

It's up there in the top 3 or 4 according to Wiki.

Anyway, it's 'quite high', so that's good enough for me.

 

Ahhh, got it - it's 'highest peak south of Snowdonia' or something, but
the 'relative height' / topographic prominence is highly ranked.

 

I'd been looking at the relative height.

 

Nice one Steve.

Don't do too much and feck yourself up again ...

 

You seem to be posting from the future.

 

125? - it's a 200 I'll have you know - and there's no bloody way it
would make it up there!

 

Ahem... There is a chance a TL125 may have made it up around 30 years
ago.

Heh. I once took an XL125 up the second highest mountain in Wales.

 

The Fan does quite well at sorting the men from the boys at selection
for a well known military unit. Repetition is, apparently, the thing.
Hence the Fan Dance.
Well done you.
